    Hello people

    Going to be over in the uk for a few weeks. And wondering is there any good bike shops worth checking out. I’ll be in London. Along the m25 from watford(j20) to Guildford in surrey (j10). Mainly looking for shoes, pedals and computer. As my strava doesn’t record on my phone for some reason.

    I’d say Sigma Sports would be worth a look!

    Where are they based or is it just an online presence they have?

    Not sure about the suburbs, but the one's in central London are ridiculously expensive. The same stuff is much cheaper at home.

    www.chainreactioncycles.com or www.wiggle.co.uk

    seriously, because you will not get a wider choice or better prices in the high street.

    Its worth checking out an Evans branch if you are passing one as there are occasionally bargain rails and you might get lucky in finding something you like in your size, but it can be a long shot ! Good luck

    Sigma in Hampton Wick is good, the Specialized concept store in Ruislip is good if you want to see the full range. If you were flying into Gatwick the Evans Warehouse is nearby and well worth a visit. They will price match so you can try most shoes on but get the benefit of the keenest price.
    If you are keen to see some bikes that you would never normally see, check out https://www.bespokecycling.com/contact in the centre. Brands like Open and Parlee which are rare enough.
